Curiosity for global awareness

Because I care & I know we can make a difference

1

Being an entrepreneur is a road less traveled.

Add to this being a mother entrepreneur and

you will find a journey full of stories of

perseverance and resilience; yet, it is the joy

of purpose, which always has kept my team

and me moving forward.

Why?

Kitu stands for Knowledge, Imagination,

Time, and Us! It began as a journey to

connect with my children through

knowledge, quality time, and language.

Our stories and games are fully bilingual,

giving Hispanic parents a tool to help them

engage their children in Spanish.

We want to take children to unique

destinations and show a world that is

special and full of excitement.

Working on stories and games of discovery

was just waiting for me. As I look back at my

life, I have lived fascinating experiences

around the world.

At 21, I embarked in a train across India,

commemorating 50 years of Independence. At

25, I was interpreter to Prof. Robert Mundell,

Nobel Prize in Economics. I traveled to Italy,

Ireland, England, Croatia, Spain, Venezuela,

Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Brazil, Cuba

Mexico, and the United States.

I have worked in the private and public

sector, but being a mother and an

entrepreneur is the experience that has, by

far, excited me. I hope you can join us in our

playful adventures and help children be true

citizens of the world.

+ Explore

The Amazon Rainforest is one of

the most fascinating places on

earth. Being shared by nine

different countries, we chose the

Rainforest as it can teach children

and us the power of diversity,

discovery, and adventure.

Amanda, our main character,

lands of the Rainforest and meets

Yapariwa, a local boy who is

looking for his lost brother Atu.

Children will be able to go on a

nature walk and will learn about

Toucans, will spot an Anaconda,

and will see how even piranhas

have a place in nature. Yapariwa & Amanda

+ Learn

In our fully bilingual game

(English and Spanish) they will

also learn about Geography,

through an animated visual of

South America’s map.

Our story is divided in short video

segments with games in between.

At 3 different levels children will

learn new vocabulary, will play

puzzles, matching, and can try

their reading comprehension at

the end of the story.

Amazon Rainforest Discovery 5 worlds full of amazing animals

5 worlds of discovery

Children will unlock five different worlds from the Amazon River Rainforest as they try to find the animals, which are hiding. Each world will have two different levels of play to give children the opportunity to play and remember.

Spotting animals in each of the ecosystems will help children see how animals have their own home.

Unique animals

The animals of the Amazon Rainforest makes us stop and think about their uniqueness and nature’s diversity.

From the red eye frog who uses the color of its eyes to scare predators to the crocodile who sleeps with its mouth open, your children will be inspired to learn more.

Bilingual learning

Learning another language is a great opportunity for children. With our apps children will be able to learn the names of different animals in both English and Spanish.

In addition, at the end of each world children will be able to learn useful words to start their bilingual vocabulary.
